Hell i love most 80's music more than today's music. The only problem with naming bands is that most were one hit wonders. Symzie has a good list and I would add:

Wang Chung
Journey
REM
U2
Def Leppard
Aerosmith
Simple Minds

My personal favorite 80's song is "Don't you" by simple minds.

60'S or 70's music was way cooler...

she blinded me with science? what were they thinking ???

[Merrida]

Embarassing? LOL

Ehh, I think it all has to do with when you grew up, and what music was popular when you felt the best about yourself. We tend to hang on to those eras, even as we "grow up!"

Heavy metal and hair bands, a time when gender identification was a total non-issue.

God, I remember the hair, the big hair, all that hairspray! The makeup. The dance clubs. The clothes. The jewelry (BIG jewelry, especially earings). The rhinestones.

What does this have to do with music of the '80's? Not a thing, I got totally distracted there,....

I saw them with Dave Lee Roth too, about 1980/81 (not sure) in London, Michael Anthony was playing some keyboard disguised as a bomb! very good gig though, that's the only time I ever saw them. They don't come over very often.

Great 80s music, eh? Well, I agree with most of what people have said here, but I just have to add...

The Dead Milkmen
Tears for Fears
Love & Rockets

Ok, I cant remeber all the names, but The Cure, Depeche Mode and George Micheal come to mind. Oh yea, and there is an 80's song that NO DOUBT re-made, "Its my life" (i think thats the title?) Its AWESOME, even better than the original!! Listen out for it you guys!!! Great gym song!!!
